About CambridgeNexus (CNEX) is a Boston-based AI Factory operator that owns bare-metal NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 racks and leases them whole, single tenant, from an allocation of 350+ racks across Tier III facilities in six US states and Taiwan, installed within 75 to 90 days of contract. Not a GPU marketplace and not a virtualized cloud. Customers lease full racks: bare metal, single tenant, no instances, no shared hardware. Seven operating layers run under one model: power, cooling, networking, compute, orchestration, compliance and customer workload planning. What a customer gets: - Full-rack NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 and NVIDIA Vera Rubin systems, from one rack upward - Lease terms from 6 months to 5+ years - Tier III facilities in USA and Taiwan - Contract to installation and acceptance in 75 to 90 days - 99.95% uptime SLA - SOC 2 Type I, GDPR and HIPAA; ISO 27001 and FedRAMP 20x in progress		About Runpod offers a cloud-based platform designed for running AI workloads, focusing on providing scalable, on-demand GPU resources to accelerate machine learning (ML) model training and inference. With its diverse selection of powerful GPUs like the NVIDIA A100, RTX 3090, and H100, Runpod supports a wide range of AI applications, from deep learning to data processing.

		Pros from Real Users Pros As an AI developer using Runpod for a few months now: it’s been a great platform for training and deploying my models. The ability to launch GPU pods so quickly has made a huge difference in my workflow. Cold-start times are almost instantaneous, which means I spend less time waiting and more time experimenting and iterating on my AI projects. Runpod offers a wide range of GPU options, from NVIDIA’s latest H100s to AMD MI300Xs, which covers everything I need for both research-level experiments and larger scale training jobs. The support for custom containers is excellent, so I can bring my own environment or use the many preconfigured templates. The autoscaling serverless infrastructure adapts perfectly to varying workloads, and the real-time logs and analytics help me understand how my models are performing in production. Security and compliance, including SOC2 certification, give me peace of mind when deploying sensitive models.
